catch the hot bullets

this piece of art work was inspired by one of  tunng's  song called bullets. the sun is firing hot rays (bullets) to the earth and earth's only defense (ozone layer) has been cracked leaving hot sun rays directly pass into the earth surface. 

Even though it is not clearly seen, the image in my head was a more like a bleeding earth.!  bleeding of hot lava from the bottom of the earth as earth has been hit. 

As far as i am concern this is somewhat the reality of what is happening but in a more dramatic way. 

the art work is not completely done yet, there are so many details missing but what you can see here is the basic idea. 

wearing out

this is one of my very recent sketch which portrays a girl with a mask on (one of those sad looking + chalking skin masks). She hides her inner beauty behind the mask which is now wearing out making her vulnerable.
the mask here is the earth and due to the global warming its melting off. the sketch is not really finished yet but basically that is the idea.
as for the art movement, i am thinking of using surrealism and expressionism + some more.. it's a work in progress   

spitting out

earth is tired and full of waste and it's spitting them out as if it can no longer stand it. 

lifeless earth

willow tree (which is supposed to look bigger + more lifeless than it looks)is dead and the life support of the tree is the earth. The dead tree means that earth is no longer ideal to live and support a life of a tree. 

the roots that initially holding onto the earth for support is all dried up and now they are coming out as earth is too dried up.

Here earth acts as the soil + carbondioxide + minerals + water for the plant. 

earth is asking you to STOP !

the red traffic light on the earth is depicting stop sign and seeing it people come to a halt and gathers around it.
The 'people' gathered here could be ordinary people or it could also be men in suits. A 'tie' symbolizes men in suits as in men with power, such as politicians + businessmen.
All in all what this picture is trying to tell that, not only men in suits have the power to save the earth but ordinary people like YOU have the power too. Simply by changing the lifestyle. 


ps: the title is still a work in progress and haven't come up with any art movement too. 

Brainstorm for ideas 02

Since my first attempt to come up ideas didn't go so well i started from scratch and i was able to come up with four solid ideas yet i chose one of it as i had little confident in presenting other that i came up with.

Look for the next post to find out which one of these i chose xD

Brainstorm for ideas 01

One of the first thing that came to my mind while thinking of ideas for the theme 'global warming + recycling' was how i am going to print the art work. 

I wanted to have four different A4 size images put close together representing one image but then for weeks, it was just that in my mind. Later i thought of a showing an image of a tree asking to plant a tree for everyone of us on earth.So the 4A's would represent a tree when put close together but each A4 alone shows an image too.I came up with a title of 'lets grow peace in our backyard' as peace to me means harmony + greenery + calm + hippies + nature and colors. But this idea didn't go any further than this and i decided to post this anyway as i might still make up my mind to continue work on this.
